If it's below freezing snow won't affect ur aircraft. As long as it can't melt ur ok. And even a short exposure to moisture won't do any damage. Get ur video and come home and land ASAP. Just remove the battery and let everything warm up and dry out before anything else.

Thanks, the reason I ask is this; the 120m limit is for protection of manned aircraft from irresponsible drone pilots and I get that. I fly regularly at a campground hosted by an experienced pilot and there have been many times when we both agreed manned aircraft were flying below 500 feet...

I have a question for you, is it true that manned aircraft are required to fly HIGHER than 500 feet unless landing or taking off?

Nice video! I also fly with cold fingers lol. We'll done :)

Just my 2 cents, living in Canada If I didn't fly in winter my fleet would be parked over half the year lol! I regularly fly in cold temps and my record is minus 31C with my Phantom 3 Pro. My words of advice: First and always, start with fully charged and warm batteries (both aircraft and RC)...

Ultimately satelite or cellular will be the only way to extend range to basically unlimited. The current "line of sight" protocol is great but will always be limited. But this opens up other considerations, safety being foremost. There is a very good reason VLOS rules exist. I'll admit freely...

That's a good helicopter, Flywing does make good units, I bought a Flywing EC135.

Agreed on all points! I stand corrected, there is definitely room for improvement!

Ya I'm not a professional photographer but I do like quality video and pics and all my quads provide that. My Mavic 3 is my flagship and flies all the long distant photo missions with zero issues. The mini 4 pro is awesome and the fact that both of them have obstacle avoidance and are...

I find it interesting to watch the evolution of all the RC aircraft. Dji has been a leader and at the forefront of innovation in the last decade. Their aircraft are in a league of their own with both cameras and flight capabilities. Are they at the limit of what can be improved? I currently...

The rotor width is 80 cm (2.62 feet) so it's a decent size aircraft and definitely dangerous. Weighs 2.5 kgs (5.5 lbs) with battery so ya, definitely the heaviest aircraft I have flown. Previous was my P3P at 1.2 kgs and that was a tank lol. I'm really looking forward to it's arrival and...

Kudos to you for still rocking the P3P! It's a great aircraft and was my first DJI drone. Obvs you have the upgraded board on your GL300 remote which has the HDMI output. I hope you find a solution!

Greetings All, I'm looking for some info from experienced hobbyists familiar with non DJI LiPos. I have a helicopter coming that's uses a 4S 14.8v 5000mah LiPo with the XT60 connector and the balance charge lead. I'm well aware of the quirks and dangers of LiPos and how to care for and maintain...

Sorry all, I meant no disrespect. Do people really use the RID to track you down and be a Karen there???

That's a very valid point!
